Travelling didn’t just expand my world; it lit a creative spark in me that I hadn’t known. Between airport coffee and mountain sunsets, I started to write. At first, it was to remember the places, people and meals. But soon, the words became more than memories: The careless and untidy writing turned into sentences, the sentences into stories. Writing became a way to relive the magic and share it. Slowly, my confidence grew.
In 2023, as a 55-year-old woman, I decided to start a new journey, but this time, it did not involve travelling. Instead, it was a journey of learning. I took the leap and applied for a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing through Burnley College University Courses. It felt like stepping into the unknown. I told myself not to get my hopes up. So, when that acceptance came through, the news felt too surreal to sink in at once — I was going to university.
It wasn’t easy at first. I felt like a fish out of water on my first day. But now, I’ve found my rhythm. I’ve rediscovered who I am and who I want to be. I’m shaping a future that is entirely my own, and I’m doing it with my words. I am living in a world I never imagined I could be part of. I am developing my writing skills and embracing this new creative journey.
And so, my journey continues — one that connects the joys of travel with the transforming power of learning. While I am unsure of the destination, I know it will lead me to some extraordinary places. I look forward to the stories yet to be written and the journeys yet to be taken.
If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Stepping out of your comfort zone gets more rewarding with age. My journey may have started with countries, but now it carries me to learning. And I can’t wait to see where life takes me next.
4. Why did the author start writing?
A. To improve her self-confidence. B. To share her stories with others.
C. To refresh her previous memories. D. To record her travel experiences.
5. How did the author feel about being accepted by the university?
A. Curious. B. Peaceful. C. Surprised. D. Relieved.
6. What does university education mean to the author?
A. A new self-shaping journey. B. A tough personal challenge.
C. A childhood long-held dream. D. A way to become ordinary.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Comfort zone offers safety. B. Writing fixes our troubles.
C. Age never limits growth. D. Travel is the best teacher.

At a recent round-table discussion hosted by The World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD), leading innovators in carbon reduction technology discussed the practical implementation (执行) needed to put the revised framework into practice and achieve the goal set in the Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
The discussion was hosted by Peter Bakker, President and Chief Executive Officer of WBCSD, who began by setting the bar in terms of the important role businesses have to play. “Businesses have a critical role to play as a source of investments and as a driver of technological development and innovation, not to mention as an engine for economic growth and employment,” said Mr. Bakker. “We must continue to work together to seize this opportunity to scale up the implementation of the Paris Agreement and accelerate the transition to the low-carbon economy.”
However, there comes a point where innovations need to migrate off the drawing board and start to bring change — a point which Mr. Bakker is acutely aware of. “Of course, realizing the goals will by no means be easy,” he said. “The goals represent an ambitious agenda which in many cases will require a complete system overhaul.”
Such a change takes commitment on an individual business level, but industry-wide regulations and close partnership were highlighted as key drivers by many of those at the discussion.
Alongside their work with businesses, the round-table discussion also highlighted the importance of keeping climate change in the public eye and ensuring that the transition to the low-carbon economy is inclusive.
Climate change is so important to all our futures that truly long-term sustainable change requires a complete cultural shift in the way nations think about consuming energy and resources, and about the impact this has on people and communities. While policy makers can assert a certain degree of influence from one direction, businesses also have a responsibility to ensure their employees and communities are prepared to meet the opportunities of the low-carbon world. For many businesses, this means re-training, re-skilling and redeployment in order to safely manage the transition for their workers.
8. What role should businesses play according to Mr. Bakker?
A. Policy makers. B. Cultural innovators.
C. Green advocates. D. Resource developers.
9. Which word can explain the underlined word “overhaul” in paragraph 3?
A. Explanation. B. Reform. C. Standard. D. Analysis.
10. What did many attendees of the discussion consider important?
A. Investment. B. Cooperation. C. Investigation. D. Employment.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Technology can ensure a smooth transition.
B. The government should lead retraining programs.
C. Businesses have reduced the impacts of climate change.
D. Employees’ livelihood matters in addressing climate change.

The ordinary-seeming act of picking up a T-shirt and folding it into a neat square requires a surprisingly complex understanding of how objects move in three dimensions. Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training. As a result, current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks.
A big challenge in teaching robots the skill is the countless ways that various fabrics can crumple (变皱). Think about all the times you’ve thrown a T-shirt into the laundry basket and how it landed in a slightly different-shaped heap each time. It’s simple for people to pick up a shirt and quickly find a sleeve or collar to orient themselves, but every unique way a shirt crumples is a new challenge for robots, which are often trained on images of unwrinkled clothing lying flat on a surface, with all features visible. “It’s not the fabric itself that is the challenge. It’s the number of variations that can be created by the way fabric can be crumpled,” says David Held, a robotics researcher.
Once they have been trained on a fabric’s properties, many robotic systems use a folding strategy called “pick and place”, where the robot uses computer vision technology to identify a specific point on a shirt like the left sleeve, then pick up that point and place it down at a different specified point like the right sleeve. In these models, the origin, destination and trajectory (轨迹) of the movement are predetermined based on assumed properties of the fabric, such as stretch and weight.
Though it may sound straightforward, the approach limits the ability of robots to adapt to real-time changes in the environment — such as a pair of pants being far heavier than expected, or a button getting in the way. If such complications arise, the system can’t change its trajectory to complete a fold correctly.
12. Why do robots perform poorly in folding tasks?
A. They struggle to apply learning. B. They fail to know the fabric.
C. They lack the relevant training. D. They can’t observe new situations.
13. What makes robots’ learning to fold clothes difficult?
A. The ways that people pick up their T-shirts. B. Countless fabric variations from crumpling.
C. Very few images about unwrinkled clothing. D. Different assumed properties of the fabric.
14. What can we know about the strategy called “pick and place”?
A. It is highly effective. B. It can adapt to changes.
C. It ignores fabric’s weight. D. It has certain shortcomings.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Robot’s Big Challenge: Folding Clothes B. Pick and Place: A Common Robot Strategy
C. Humans’ Natural Ability to Fold Clothes D. The Endless Possibilities of Home Robots

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I loved music. Every day after work, I would put on my earphones and lose myself in songs. I had played the guitar for years, though I was no expert. It was simply my way to relax. So, when I moved into the new apartment, I brought my guitar and my love for music with me.
For the first few weeks, the apartment next door remained silent. I knew someone lived there, but I never saw the person. The door was always closed. Then, one quiet afternoon, while I was reading, I heard a sound. It was so faint that I held my breath to catch it. It was from a violin. The music was low and slow, each note seeming to carry a weight of years, like someone telling a sad, beautiful story without words. I put down my book and listened. The melody seemed to be filled with loneliness and memories, and I felt a strange ache in my heart.
The next day, I heard it again. This time, I felt a strong pull. I walked to his door and knocked softly. The music stopped. My heart beat faster. After a long moment, the door opened a little. An old man with silver hair looked at me. He said nothing. Feeling a bit awkward, I smiled and said, “Hello, I’m your neighbor. I heard you playing the violin. It was incredibly beautiful. I play the guitar a little bit, I just wanted to say hello.” He looked at me for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face.
He opened the door wider and invited me in. I stepped inside, noticing a worn armchair by the window and the smell of old books. His home was simple, filled with books and old photos. In the corner stood a music stand. Next to it was a small table with a photo of a woman, smiling gently. That first meeting was short, but it was the beginning of our friendship. As I turned to leave, he said softly, “Thank you for listening.” Those simple words warmed my heart. I knew we would become friends.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few days later, I visited him again with my guitar.

Travelling didn’t just expand my world; it lit a creative spark in me that I hadn’t known. Between airport coffee and mountain sunsets, I started to write. At first, it was to remember the places, people and meals. But soon, the words became more than memories: The careless and untidy writing turned into sentences, the sentences into stories. Writing became a way to relive the magic and share it. Slowly, my confidence grew.
In 2023, as a 55-year-old woman, I decided to start a new journey, but this time, it did not involve travelling. Instead, it was a journey of learning. I took the leap and applied for a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing through Burnley College University Courses. It felt like stepping into the unknown. I told myself not to get my hopes up. So, when that acceptance came through, the news felt too surreal to sink in at once — I was going to university.
It wasn’t easy at first. I felt like a fish out of water on my first day. But now, I’ve found my rhythm. I’ve rediscovered who I am and who I want to be. I’m shaping a future that is entirely my own, and I’m doing it with my words. I am living in a world I never imagined I could be part of. I am developing my writing skills and embracing this new creative journey.
And so, my journey continues — one that connects the joys of travel with the transforming power of learning. While I am unsure of the destination, I know it will lead me to some extraordinary places. I look forward to the stories yet to be written and the journeys yet to be taken.
If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Stepping out of your comfort zone gets more rewarding with age. My journey may have started with countries, but now it carries me to learning. And I can’t wait to see where life takes me next.

At a recent round-table discussion hosted by The World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD), leading innovators in carbon reduction technology discussed the practical implementation (执行) needed to put the revised framework into practice and achieve the goal set in the Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
The discussion was hosted by Peter Bakker, President and Chief Executive Officer of WBCSD, who began by setting the bar in terms of the important role businesses have to play. “Businesses have a critical role to play as a source of investments and as a driver of technological development and innovation, not to mention as an engine for economic growth and employment,” said Mr. Bakker. “We must continue to work together to seize this opportunity to scale up the implementation of the Paris Agreement and accelerate the transition to the low-carbon economy.”
However, there comes a point where innovations need to migrate off the drawing board and start to bring change — a point which Mr. Bakker is acutely aware of. “Of course, realizing the goals will by no means be easy,” he said. “The goals represent an ambitious agenda which in many cases will require a complete system overhaul.”
Such a change takes commitment on an individual business level, but industry-wide regulations and close partnership were highlighted as key drivers by many of those at the discussion.
Alongside their work with businesses, the round-table discussion also highlighted the importance of keeping climate change in the public eye and ensuring that the transition to the low-carbon economy is inclusive.
Climate change is so important to all our futures that truly long-term sustainable change requires a complete cultural shift in the way nations think about consuming energy and resources, and about the impact this has on people and communities. While policy makers can assert a certain degree of influence from one direction, businesses also have a responsibility to ensure their employees and communities are prepared to meet the opportunities of the low-carbon world. For many businesses, this means re-training, re-skilling and redeployment in order to safely manage the transition for their workers.
8. What role should businesses play according to Mr. Bakker?
A. Policy makers. B. Cultural innovators.
C. Green advocates. D. Resource developers.
9. Which word can explain the underlined word “overhaul” in paragraph 3?
A. Explanation. B. Reform. C. Standard. D. Analysis.
10. What did many attendees of the discussion consider important?
A. Investment. B. Cooperation. C. Investigation. D. Employment.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Technology can ensure a smooth transition.
B. The government should lead retraining programs.
C. Businesses have reduced the impacts of climate change.
D. Employees’ livelihood matters in addressing climate change.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The goals represent an ambitious agenda which in many cases will require a complete system overhaul.(这些目标代表了一个雄心勃勃的议程,在许多情况下,这将需要彻底的制度overhaul)”可知,这些目标代表了一个雄心勃勃的议程,所以实现目标难度大,需要彻底的系统变革。所以overhaul意为“变革,改革”,与reform意思相近。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Such a change takes commitment on an individual business level, but industry-wide regulations and close partnership were highlighted as key drivers by many of those at the discussion.(这种变化需要企业层面的承诺,但讨论中的许多人强调,行业范围的法规和密切的伙伴关系是关键驱动力)”可知,许多与会者认为合作很重要。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While policy makers can assert a certain degree of influence from one direction, businesses also have a responsibility to ensure their employees and communities are prepared to meet the opportunities of the low-carbon world. For many businesses, this means re-training, re-skilling and redeployment in order to safely manage the transition for their workers.(虽然政策制定者可以在一个方向上施加一定程度的影响,但企业也有责任确保其员工和社区做好准备,迎接低碳世界带来的机遇。对许多企业来说,这意味着重新培训、重新技能培训和重新部署,以便为工人安全地管理过渡)”可知,企业需为员工提供再培训等,说明员工的生计在应对气候变化中很重要。故选D。

The ordinary-seeming act of picking up a T-shirt and folding it into a neat square requires a surprisingly complex understanding of how objects move in three dimensions. Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training. As a result, current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks.
A big challenge in teaching robots the skill is the countless ways that various fabrics can crumple (变皱). Think about all the times you’ve thrown a T-shirt into the laundry basket and how it landed in a slightly different-shaped heap each time. It’s simple for people to pick up a shirt and quickly find a sleeve or collar to orient themselves, but every unique way a shirt crumples is a new challenge for robots, which are often trained on images of unwrinkled clothing lying flat on a surface, with all features visible. “It’s not the fabric itself that is the challenge. It’s the number of variations that can be created by the way fabric can be crumpled,” says David Held, a robotics researcher.
Once they have been trained on a fabric’s properties, many robotic systems use a folding strategy called “pick and place”, where the robot uses computer vision technology to identify a specific point on a shirt like the left sleeve, then pick up that point and place it down at a different specified point like the right sleeve. In these models, the origin, destination and trajectory (轨迹) of the movement are predetermined based on assumed properties of the fabric, such as stretch and weight.
Though it may sound straightforward, the approach limits the ability of robots to adapt to real-time changes in the environment — such as a pair of pants being far heavier than expected, or a button getting in the way. If such complications arise, the system can’t change its trajectory to complete a fold correctly.
12. Why do robots perform poorly in folding tasks?
A. They struggle to apply learning. B. They fail to know the fabric.
C. They lack the relevant training. D. They can’t observe new situations.
13. What makes robots’ learning to fold clothes difficult?
A. The ways that people pick up their T-shirts. B. Countless fabric variations from crumpling.
C. Very few images about unwrinkled clothing. D. Different assumed properties of the fabric.
14. What can we know about the strategy called “pick and place”?
A. It is highly effective. B. It can adapt to changes.
C. It ignores fabric’s weight. D. It has certain shortcomings.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Robot’s Big Challenge: Folding Clothes B. Pick and Place: A Common Robot Strategy
C. Humans’ Natural Ability to Fold Clothes D. The Endless Possibilities of Home Robots
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了机器人在叠衣服这一任务上所面临的挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training.(我们自身能够顺利完成此类任务,是因为我们已经掌握了不同布料在折叠时的反应规律,即便我们此前从未叠过这些衣服(面料),但机器人却难以将所学知识应用到与训练环境不同的新情境中去)”可知,机器人表现不佳的原因在于它们难以将所学的东西应用到与训练时不同的新情况中。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A big challenge in teaching robots the skill is the countless ways that various fabrics can crumple (变皱).(在教机器人掌握这项技能的过程中,最大的难题在于各种织物会以无数种方式发生褶皱)”可知,机器人学习叠衣服的一个大挑战在于织物因变皱而产生的无数种形态变化。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though it may sound straightforward, the approach limits the ability of robots to adapt to real-time changes in the environment — such as a pair of pants being far heavier than expected, or a button getting in the way. If such complications arise, the system can’t change its trajectory to complete a fold correctly.(尽管这听起来可能很简单,但这种方法限制了机器人适应环境实时变化的能力——比如一条裤子的实际重量比预期的要重很多,或者一个纽扣会挡住操作路径。如果出现这类复杂情况,系统就无法改变其运行轨迹来正确完成折叠动作)”可知,虽然“抓放”策略听起来简单直接,但它限制了机器人适应环境变化的能力。这说明该策略存在缺点。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training. As a result, current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks.(我们自身能够顺利完成此类任务,是因为我们已经掌握了不同织物在折叠时的反应规律,即便我们此前从未叠过这些衣服(面料),但机器人却难以将所学知识应用到与训练环境不同的新情境中。因此,目前的机器人动作迟缓,即便是在最简单的折叠任务中也常常表现不佳)”以及文章始终围绕“机器人叠衣服所面临的巨大挑战”这一核心主题展开,因此A项“机器人的重大挑战:折叠衣物”最符合文章标题。故选A。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you’re looking for a physical and mental health boost, it’s time to head outside. ____16____. Taking even a few minutes to sit by a stream or rest in the shade of a tree can have great benefits. Nature therapy (治疗) can reduce stress, lessen feelings of anxiety, and even boost physical well-being.
The term “nature therapy” might spark any number of visuals, from long walks on the beach to meditation sessions in the park. And while it’s often associated with hours spent in the forest quietly communing with nature, nature therapy can be much more accessible than that. ____17____.
According to Erica, assistant professor at the University of Minnesota who specializes in nature therapy, there are many ways to interact with nature. Sure, that includes intentionally engaging in therapeutic nature-based experiences. ____18____. Even viewing photos of nature scenes counts.
____19____. You might gather friends for a forest walk, a picnic in a park, or simply sit together listening to birdsong. Sharing these moments deepens the sense of connection — both to nature and to each other — while multiplying the well-being benefits.
____20____. Reo Jones, PhD candidate at OHSU, suggests that regular walks in nature can yield profound benefits for both physical and mental health. “How quickly people can feel better! It blows my mind,” she says. “We see that on the cellular level.”
A. It’s good for those lacking green space
B. This approach can enhance your creativity
C. You don’t even need to invest much time in it
D. Nature therapy can be a shared social experience
E. The best entry into this is to go outside and observe
F. Taking in the sights and sounds of the outdoors is important

【16题详解】
上文“If you’re looking for a physical and mental health boost, it’s time to head outside.(如果你想促进身心健康,是时候出门了)”说明出门对身心健康有益。下文“Taking even a few minutes to sit by a stream or rest in the shade of a tree can have great benefits.(哪怕只花几分钟坐在小溪边,或是在树荫下休息,都能带来诸多益处)”指出甚至短时间的户外活动也是有好处的,空处应说明户外活动不需要花费太多时间。所以C项“你甚至不需要在这上面投入太多时间。”符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
上文“And while it’s often associated with hours spent in the forest quietly communing with nature, nature therapy can be much more accessible than that.(虽然它通常与在森林里安静地与自然交流数小时联系在一起,但自然疗法其实比那更容易实现)”说明自然疗法并非需要长时间在森林里,更容易实现。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明这种易实现的特点对特定人群的好处。所以A项“这对那些缺乏绿地的人很有好处。”符合语境。A选项承接前文“more accessible”,说明即使没有大片绿地(无需去森林),也能享受自然疗法,体现其易实现的优势。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“According to Erica, assistant professor at the University of Minnesota who specializes in nature therapy, there are many ways to interact with nature. Sure, that includes intentionally engaging in therapeutic nature-based experiences.(根据明尼苏达大学专攻自然疗法的助理教授Erica的说法,与自然互动有很多方式。当然,这包括有意识地参与以自然为基础的治疗体验)”说明与自然互动的多种方式,先提到一种有意识的治疗体验。空处和前文为顺接关系,补充另一种简单易操作的自然互动方式。所以G项“它也意味着坐在公园的长椅上或聆听大自然的声音。”符合语境。G选项中的also体现与前文的递进,“enjoying a park bench or listening to the sounds of nature”是对“many ways to interact with nature”的补充,贴合“易实现”的特点,故选G。
【19题详解】
下文“You might gather friends for a forest walk, a picnic in a park, or simply sit together listening to birdsong. Sharing these moments deepens the sense of connection — both to nature and to each other — while multiplying the well-being benefits.(你可以和朋友一起去森林散步,在公园野餐,或者只是坐在一起听鸟鸣。分享这些时刻可以加深与自然和彼此的联系,同时增加幸福感)”说明自然疗法可以和朋友一起进行,是一种社交体验。空处是本段主旨句,概括本段核心内容。所以D项“自然疗法可以是一种共享的社交体验。”符合语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
下文“Reo Jones, PhD candidate at OHSU, suggests that regular walks in nature can yield profound benefits for both physical and mental health. “How quickly people can feel better! It blows my mind,” she says. “We see that on the cellular level.”(俄勒冈健康与科学大学博士生Reo Jones认为,定期在大自然中散步对身心健康都有深远的好处。她说:“人们很快就会感觉好起来!这让我大吃一惊。”。“我们在细胞水平上看到了这一点。”)”说明定期接触自然有好处,强调走进自然、感受自然的重要性。空处位于段首,应概括本段内容。所以F项“欣赏户外的景色和声音也很重要。”符合语境。F选项中的“Taking in the sights and sounds of the outdoors”与后文“regular walks in nature”相呼应,引出后文定期接触自然的益处。故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了玻利维亚一所学校融合本土与中华文化,通过教育塑造学生并促进文化交流。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在晴朗的晨光中,一群孩子在学校院子里练习中国武术的基本动作。根据空后名词movements可知,空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词;foundation的形容词为foundational“基本的”。故填foundational。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们就读于玻利维亚拉巴斯的Comunidad Educativa Chino Boliviana Sariri学校,这是一所将文化融合作为特色的学校,将安第斯山脉的哲学与中国的智慧相结合。根据空前形容词cultural可知,空处需用名词;integrate的名词为integration“融合”,不可数名词。故填integration。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该校成立于2016年,其使命明确:恢复和弘扬本土文化,特别是艾马拉文化,同时推动中国文化学习,作为促进更广泛全球理解的桥梁。本句已有谓语动词has,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;establish的逻辑主语是the school,二者之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词作状语,句首单词首字母需大写。故填Established。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:该校成立于2016年,其使命明确:恢复和弘扬本土文化,特别是艾马拉文化,同时推动中国文化学习,作为促进更广泛全球理解的桥梁。根据空后a bridge to broader global understanding可知,此处表示作为促进更广泛全球理解的桥梁,所以空处需用介词as“作为”。故填as。
【40题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:学校主任塞西莉亚·皮内多在接受采访时说:“我们认为,玻利维亚作为一个国家恢复其文化非常重要,因为文化是价值观所在。”空处需用连接词引导表语从句,从句缺少地点状语,所以空处需用连接副词where引导表语从句。故填where。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对我们来说,中国是一个值得效仿的榜样,因为中国在保护其历史、语言和文化方面非常强大。本句已有be动词is,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;结合句意可知,此处表示中国是一个值得效仿的榜样,所以空处需用动词不定式作后置定语修饰名词example。故填to follow。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:我们相信,中国之所以伟大,是因为它从未失去自己的文化根基。根据空前形容词cultural可知,空处需用名词;root“根源”,可数名词,此处需要复数形式表示泛指。故填roots。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:学生们表示,这种教育对他们产生了深远的影响。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词;deep的副词为deeply“深刻地,深深地”。故填deeply。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:六年级学生卢西亚娜·塞巴洛斯曾前往中国参加国际武术比赛,她回忆起了这个国家的美丽和人民的热情。空处为定语从句的谓语动词,根据句意及recalled可知,“前往中国”发生在“回忆”之前,即过去的过去,需用过去完成时,其结构为had+过去分词,travel的过去分词为traveled/travelled。故填had traveled/had travelled。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:六年级学生卢西亚娜·塞巴洛斯曾前往中国参加国际武术比赛,她回忆起了这个国家的美丽和人民的热情。根据空后warmth of its people可知,此处特指中国人民的热情,所以空处需用定冠词the。故填the。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I loved music. Every day after work, I would put on my earphones and lose myself in songs. I had played the guitar for years, though I was no expert. It was simply my way to relax. So, when I moved into the new apartment, I brought my guitar and my love for music with me.
For the first few weeks, the apartment next door remained silent. I knew someone lived there, but I never saw the person. The door was always closed. Then, one quiet afternoon, while I was reading, I heard a sound. It was so faint that I held my breath to catch it. It was from a violin. The music was low and slow, each note seeming to carry a weight of years, like someone telling a sad, beautiful story without words. I put down my book and listened. The melody seemed to be filled with loneliness and memories, and I felt a strange ache in my heart.
The next day, I heard it again. This time, I felt a strong pull. I walked to his door and knocked softly. The music stopped. My heart beat faster. After a long moment, the door opened a little. An old man with silver hair looked at me. He said nothing. Feeling a bit awkward, I smiled and said, “Hello, I’m your neighbor. I heard you playing the violin. It was incredibly beautiful. I play the guitar a little bit, I just wanted to say hello.” He looked at me for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face.
He opened the door wider and invited me in. I stepped inside, noticing a worn armchair by the window and the smell of old books. His home was simple, filled with books and old photos. In the corner stood a music stand. Next to it was a small table with a photo of a woman, smiling gently. That first meeting was short, but it was the beginning of our friendship. As I turned to leave, he said softly, “Thank you for listening.” Those simple words warmed my heart. I knew we would become friends.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
A few days later, I visited him again with my guitar. I knocked on his door, feeling a little nervous. When he opened it and saw the guitar, his eyes widened with interest. I asked if he would like to hear me play something. He nodded and gestured for me to sit down. I played a simple folk song I had learned years ago. When I finished, he clapped softly and said, “Your music is lovely.” Then, he went to his corner, picked up his violin, and played a short, sweet melody in return. It was his way of saying he accepted me. From that moment, our unspoken bond grew stronger.
From that day on, we began to spend time together. He told me he was a former violinist in the city orchestra. After his wife passed away, he moved here and rarely went out. Music was his only comfort. Sometimes, we would try to play together, the guitar and the violin finding a common tune. It wasn’t always perfect, but it was always joyful. We didn’t talk much. Our conversations were in the notes we played. We shared our sadness and our happiness through the music. He was no longer just my neighbor; he was my teacher and my friend.
